- Properties
ELASTOSIL® R plus 4001/90 MH is a fast curing silicone rubber exhibiting good to very good mechanical properties. Thanks to addition cure, the vulcanization reaction is significantly faster compared to peroxide curing materials. No peroxide decomposition products are formed during vulcanization. At service temperatures above approx. 180 °C the addition of heat stabilizers is recommended.
